Alex Rossi will again race for Caterham in GP2 for 2014 and will also be the Formula One team's reserve driver at races where he is not busy with the supporting category.

Rossi will be joined in GP2 by Indonesian driver Ryo Haryanto and will share his F1 duties with Robin Frijns.

Caterham F1 boss Cyril Abiteboul said, “In GP2, we want to be competing for race wins and titles from the first race. Alexander showed last year that he's ready to make a push for the championship, and we're continuing his F1 development in 2014 by combining his GP2 commitments with another year as an F1 team reserve driver. I firmly believe he has the talent to achieve the ambitious targets we are setting him and I'm excited about seeing him fulfill his potential in GP2 this year.

“Ryo [Haryanto] joins the team with two years of GP2 already under his belt, and he and Alexander make a formidable pairing -- we're all excited about seeing them and the team add to Caterham Racing's already crowded trophy cabinet and use that as a benchmark for the F1 team.”

Rossi will also be in action this week in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. He will be driving the DeltaWing along with Andy Meyrick, Katherine Legge and Gabby Chaves.
